Tottenham plot January move for 22-year-old labelled as a "great player" by Messi

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on the Barcelona attacker Ansu Fati.
According to a report from the Spanish publication SPORT, Tottenham and West Ham are keen on signing the player during the second half of the season. The player was linked with a move to Tottenham a year ago as well.
The player is unwanted at Barcelona and Hansi Flick has not prepared to give him opportunities. He has a contract with the club until 2027 and Barcelona will be looking to get rid of him permanently. However, they are aware that a loan move is more likely this month.
Tottenham want to add more quality and depth to their side after the North London Derby defeat and Fati is an option for them. The 22-year-old Spanish international has played in the Premier League with Brighton during his loan with the Seagulls and the opportunity to join Tottenham could be an attractive one for him. They have an ambitious project and a talented squad. If he manages to impress on loan with them, they might decide to sign in permanently at the end of the season.
He would be an inexpensive addition for Tottenham this month and it could be an interesting one. It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can beat West Ham to his signature. The Hammers are looking to add more depth to their attacking unit as well. Summer signing Niclas Fullkrug has struggled with injury problems and West Ham have looked toothless in the attack.
Meanwhile, the 22-year-old Barcelona attacker was regarded as one of the finest young prospects in the game a few years ago, and he was expected to fill the void left by club legend Lionel Messi. He was even handed the number ten shirt at Barcelona when he burst onto the first-team scene. Since then, his development has stalled, and he has had a major injury as well.
A few years ago Lionel Messi labelled him as a "great player" as well.
He will be desperate to get his career back on track with a move away from the Spanish club, and it remains to be seen where he ends up.
